Chapter 27: Don't Let People Look Down on You
The lower layer of the refrigerator is the freezer. Xu Yi couldn't squat down, so he held the disposable box and held the refrigerator door.
"You slow down!"
Song Yuqian whispered, "If anything happens to you, my mother will kill me."
"Can't dig it out."
"What's the use of you? You're from the mountains. Aren't people from the mountains strong? How come you're even more delicate than me?"
Song Yuqian was not merciful with her words. While scolding her, she took the paper box and silver mallet from her hand and scooped ice cream for her.
"I dug it for you because you helped me get the order. I'll only dig one for you."
"Okay, got it. I'll just eat one."
"If there's a second ball, there won't be one. I have to keep it a secret from my brother."
Song Yuqian easily scooped a big ball from the ice cream surface, put it into a paper box, and handed it to Xu Yi along with the spoon.
Snapped!
The light suddenly turned on, and as soon as Xu Yi stretched out his hand, he could no longer see.
Then a ball from the ice cream box fell on Xu Yi, and it was so cold that she almost shrank back.
"what happened?"
Xu Yi held the ball of ice cream in her hand and just took a lick when Song Yuqian quickly hit her.
Looking back, Song Yanming was standing by the door frame. The man had just woken up, and a clump of his hair had stuck out, making him look a little funny.
But his entire body seemed to be covered in ice, so cold that they both broke out in cold sweat...
"what are you doing?"
Xu Yi took a look at the ball in his hand, picked up the paper box from the ground, and put the ball in it. "She gave it to me. I said I didn't want to eat it, but she insisted on giving it to me."
Xu Yi's face flushed red, and so did Song Yuqian. "No, she wanted to eat it, so she asked me to make it for her."
Song Yanming walked forward and took a tissue to wipe Xu Yi's hands clean. They still felt sticky, and he couldn't help but frown.
Xu Yi didn't dare to look up at him, she bit her lip and remained silent.
"She is ignorant and you are ignorant too?"
"I……"
"You are older than her, so you can't control her?"
"me……"
Song Yuqian was speechless, "Why don't you tell me."
Xu Yi also wanted to help Song Yuqian explain that it was she who wanted to eat it and it had nothing to do with Song Yuqian. She took a deep breath and said, "Yan Ming, I wanted to eat it and asked Yuqian to dig it for me. It has nothing to do with her."
As a human being, you should have some sense of responsibility and not abandon the donkey when disaster strikes.
"Yeah, bro."
"What is this? Your sister-in-law is pregnant and craving for food, and you put ice cream in front of her mouth? What is your intention?"
"She wanted to eat it and asked me to..."
"If she wants to eat, just indulge her."
Song Yanming said seriously, "Look at your sister-in-law, and then look at yourself."
"What's wrong with me?"
Song Yanming shook his head, his eyes darkened, and he pulled Xu Yi to wash his hands.
Song Yuqian stood there in a daze. She got up in the middle of the night to secretly eat an ice cream. Who did she offend?
"I want to eat it. It has nothing to do with Yuqian."
I have finally managed to ease the relationship with Song Yuqian, I can't let all my efforts go to waste.
"It really has nothing to do with Yu Qian."
"Did she force you to admit it?"
Xu Yi: …
"No, I really want to eat it."
Song Yanming didn't believe it at all. He sent Xu Yi into the house and closed the door.
-
The days of eating and sleeping passed in a flash, and there were only two days left until Xu Yi's due date.
For several days, Song Yuqian ignored her.
That afternoon, Song Yuqian was busy designing in the studio. Qin Moyu came with Zhou Zhiyin, saying that she wanted to observe and learn.
Several of them were studying design, so naturally they had a lot to talk about when they sat together.
Zhou Zhiyin liked Song Yuqian's design very much and praised it repeatedly after seeing it.
"Don't praise me. Everyone knows that your designs are unmatched. I am embarrassed by your words."
"I'm speaking from the heart, Yuqian. Although your overall design needs to be improved, each of your manuscripts has its own unique features."
"Thank you."
"Look at this. It's perfect after this modification, isn't it?"
“It’s definitely much better.”
Qin Moyu and Zhou Zhiyin work in one of the best design institutes in Jiangcheng. This is their first time working in such a small studio. Although it is small, it has everything and there is a lot of room for development.
“Are your designs limited?”
"What restrictions?"
Qin Moyu said, "Our designs are often picked and chosen by the company's top management. Out of ten drawings, only one may be truly usable."
Song Yuqian was also a worker before, so she understands this feeling very well. "I was restricted before, but now I have my own studio. If I want to make something, I can make it. There will always be channels willing to buy it. I just need to look for it more and ask more."
These words touched Qin Moyu's heart, "Hey, I'm beginning to envy you a little."
"Envy me?" Song Yuqian smiled from ear to ear, "With Brother Beicheng supporting you, who dares to pick on your designs?"
"I don't like him interfering in my work, and he doesn't dare to."
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Zhou Zhiyin looked through Song Yuqian's design drawings. "Yuqian, besides design, does your studio face any other difficulties?"
"Except for the fact that the design is quite free-spirited, the rest is all difficult."
"Financially?"
“It’s not just the funding, but also the operational aspects.”
Zhou Zhiyin glanced at Qin Moyu, who took a sip of tea and said, "If you don't mind, we would like to join you."
"what?"
"We didn't dare to do it at first, but seeing that you did it, we want to join you."
"In fact, I didn't dare to do it at first. It was my sister-in-law who asked me to do it. After our family got into trouble and had no money, she helped me."
Qin Moyu was stunned for a moment. This was not the same as the Xu Yi she knew.
"Yuqian, Zhiyin and I really want to join your studio. We will find a way to solve the problem of resources. The three of us working together will definitely do better and better."
"Qin Moyu, it wouldn't be so easy for you to find Gu Beicheng to open a studio for you. Why did you come to the suburbs?"
"And you, Zhou Zhiyin, if I remember correctly, your family doesn't lack this little money."
"Song Yuqian, one word, yes or no?"
"I will think about it."
Jiang Qing started cooking in the afternoon. Grandma Hu from next door came over to help, and the two chatted outside. Grandma Hu had a good relationship with the people in the community, and she knew everything that happened in every family.
Xu Yi woke up in the afternoon, or to be more precise, he was woken up by someone.
"Mom, what are you doing? I'll help you with it."
"Don't do anything but watch TV."
Xu Yi was used to it. She stayed at home to take care of the baby. Apart from eating and sleeping, she didn't have to do anything else.
Jiang Qing wouldn't let her touch him either.
The due date is in these two days. Xu Yi sleeps every day, but she is also worried that giving birth will be painful.
Jiang Qing was busy until the evening. When Song Wenbin and Song Yanming, father and son, came home from get off work, she and Grandma Hu were still busy in the kitchen.
"There are enough dishes. You don't need to make any more."
"Yuqian will bring someone back later."
"Who to take?"
"The girlfriend in Beicheng and another friend of his girlfriend, I can't remember their name, they said they were going to start a studio together."
"Young people just love to mess around."
"Let them do whatever they want. It's enough to have something to do. Even if it doesn't work out, it's still an experience." Jiang Qing brought out the dishes. "Although we have no money, we should not be careless in entertaining them. We can't let them look down on us."
